Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content.

Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
